Holy Family rests serene inside a wreath of flowers. This fold-out card is handcrafted of wheat straw on cotton-covered base. Ribbon closure. A unique card to share the holiday spirit.

Artisans cut and flatten wheat straw and even it by scraping with a knife. For larger pieces, wheat straw strips are fixed to paper to form a sheet from which designs are cut. For more detailed designs wheat straw is cut into thin strips, pieced together in layers. Artisans apply heat in varying degrees to make the range of tones from tan to dark brown or black. The cardboard base is covered with cloth to complete the item.
